Forests Minister Dindigul C. Sreenivasan on Sunday said there was no internal conflict in the ruling AIADMK. “The party and the government are being run in a smooth manner under the combined stewardship of the Chief Minister and the Deputy Chief Minister,” he said after inaugurating facilities in Dindigul panchayat union.
The Minister’s statement came a day after Madurai North MLA V.V. Rajan Chellappa said the party should have a single leader instead of dual power centres, sparking tension in its ranks.
“All Ministers and MLAs are cooperating with the two leaders at the helm, and there is no confusion among us. We are united in the cause of the party and the people. After the election results, we are now working towards strengthening the party and satisfying people’s needs,” Mr. Sreenivasan said.
Any issue related to the party should be discussed at the right place, he said, adding, “It is more like a quarrel between husband and wife and has to be handled and settled in an appropriate manner.”
